In the summer of 1918 a tragedy echoed across the world when the Russian Imperial Romanov family was murdered by communists leaving much of the country crying out in mourning. Yet, there was a myth that one daughter, the youngest daughter; the Grand Duchess Anastasia had escaped. Though many disbelieved, for some this would prove to be more than a rumor and it would change their lives forever. Annalisa Peterson, a senior in high school, is dying to get out and move as far away from her family as possible. Not that she has had a rough childhood, but she wants to get away from constantly being expected to be the perfect A student and consistently having to visit her great grandmother who doesn't seem to like her, and oh yeah, doesn't speak a word of English. One final class assignment could change everything that she's ever known, and could literally re-write history. To find out the truth about her family's history, it isn't long before she's digging through old papers, books, photographs, and even travelling to Russia; not to mention getting her heart tangled up with the enemy along the way. As Annalisa finds out more and more, she's quickly discovering that once the real truth is out, her entire life will be turned upside down, and life will become much more dangerous for her, and those around her. Secrets are revealed. Questions are answered. One thing is certain; Annalisa never thought that her senior year would end like this.

Gwen Matthews is a quick-witted, feisty 17-year-old, the exact thing Kyle Reece- the son of the fourth richest man in the world hates. She's rude, irrational and doesn't accept defeat, especially to a certain blonde-haired, blue-eyed god who is under the impression the world revolves around him. He's arrogant, impulsive and a complete jerk- to put it simply, he's everything Gwen hates. To top it off, she has a crazy Aunt and a personal parole office whose mission is to follow Gwen across the world...literally. Even though Gwen and Kyle find themselves as instant enemies, Gwen can't help but be stuck in awkward- but mostly, humorous (for us) situations with her neighbour. What she is not aware of is that Kyle and his rich family have a darker past that's she's been led to believe. So dark, that her own life could be at risk.
